Just wanted to clear up some things I've been seeing in the comments. First of all I wanted to discuss some of the issues we had with the car, as I feel they aren't accurately covered in the video. Regarding the ECU - We mentioned that we couldn't access the ECU. This is down to us not having the software/expertise to sort this for ourselves at the circuit. After the event, some small tweaks to the car and it runs perfectly again. Regarding the design of the exhaust. We knew that this might have some risks (this was advised by mtech) but we wanted to try it anyway. We've already made changes that should help us sort that for future rounds. The car is a work in progress and we're still learning. Building a hair dresser car into a time attack weapon isn't easy but we're making awesome headway. Onwards to Oulton!

Exhaust definitely needs to be redesigned, heat is one thing, but imagine if you develop an exhaust leak in there, even a little one and the fumes start to get into cabin, you wont smell it, just gradually going to get dizzy until you pass out. Can't stress enough how dangerous it could be, especially on the track doing high speeds. Long story short, no exhaust in the cabin is a must next step for Minty. Be safe out there Jimmy!

@@anonimas123456789 The plan was to relocate the exhuast system under the car, though a previous engineer Jimmy apointed insisted on the exhausts exit there so packaging was a real pain. The panel is actually screwed closed and sealed as a firewall component by design, but we see in the video this has been changed to some quick release clamps (not by us!). We plan,m due to time constraints, to place the silencers externally for now and seal the firewall perminantly.

To have it get hot enough to cause thermal shielding to spontaneously combust is really saying something. Edit: I didn't realize there were so many expert car builders on KZbin. There's seems to be a good bit of dog piling in the comments and I wanted to make it clear that was not my intention. A couple things... - I was mistaken. That is not thermal wrap just the charred remains of the rubber sheath that comes on all O2 sensor wiring. Thermal wrap is resistant to 2000F radiant heat. Everything else in that area would be burning long before that if that's what it was. - To those questioning the build quality, you need to understand that there is no formula when it comes to building Unlimited TT cars. EVERYTHING is uncharted territory and without a bottomless R&D budget the only way to dial the car in is through trial and error. If you read Matt from M Tuned's reply to my comment you'll see the excessive heat in the cabin was not an issue until the heat wrap was added to the side pipe. (perfect example of trial and error) - Being that it was this cars first real shakedown things could've definitely gone way worse. I have all the faith in Jimmy and the guys to get this car dialed in.

It was intended to have aero ducting for cooling of this chamber but time didn't allow it to happen unfortunately. As Jimmy said, it was never "meant" to race like this (we advised against this exhaust design and instead considered aero fixes for cold air flow) but time pressures made that not happen. During testing we also didn't wrap the external exhaust, so that acted as a heat sink keeping the box temps lower - something the guys (not us at M-Tech) decided to do after the car left us to stop legs getting schorchio. Melting rubber and fire are two very different things :) If the aero as planned was in place, this would never have happened :)

@@hazzabojangs That makes sense. I partially said that in jest and don't agree with the replies questioning the quality of the build. I looked at it again and what I thought was wire heat shielding is just the really charred rubber sheath that gets put on the O2 sensor wiring. Thermal wrap is good for like what... 2000F radiant heat? If it was getting that hot Jimmy would have much bigger issues. I had a similar situation the first time my car saw a track. I had wrapped my exhaust all the way back to just past the downpipe. While it was great for reducing engine bay temps it wasn't until I really pushed the car that the section just past the wrap got so hot that it started to melt the rubber soundproofing on the floor pans. It didn't help that I stopped the wrap right at a gap in the factory aluminum heat shielding. Once I wrapped it past that point the issue went away. Overall I'd say it wasn't too bad for his first real shakedown and you guys have some solid feedback going forward. It definitely could have gone way worse. Their uniqueness is what makes time attack cars so cool but that also makes them pretty much uncharted territory as far as building them goes.

Fair play to you and Mtech in getting the car to Brands, although it's evident that with more time available a proper trackday shakedown would've highlighted the issues you encountered, but "it is what it is". 😉 Constructive feedback: No PAS on a car intending to run wide slicks and aero was never going to be an easy drive, particularily if the original steering geometry was engineered with PAS in mind. Hopefully a simple retrofit for the guys, or conversion to an electric column (although more involved?). With the exhaust running along the sill, I'd consider moving the silencers out of the car and down there instead, like the Nismo GTR GT3's did. Most of the heat will be from the gasses being restricted through the boxes, so having just the downpipe in the car should reduce it, plus it'll give more room and be easier to insulate with multiple layers of wrap and proper shielding rather than reflective tape. Fuel debris is a concern on something with only 1-2hrs of running. Either a contamination in the fuel drums/cans, the mechanical pump in the supply drums (have seen these not be compatible with race fuels and literally dissolve), fuel tank foam incompatible with race fuel, or an oversight during the build where braided lines weren't thoroughly cleaned before final assembly. Worth getting the injectors flow-tested just in case any fine debris made it past and may have partially blocked them (fuel pressure will read correct, but the injectors simply won't be delivering the fuel). A bit surprised the mapper wasn't at this first event- even with days on the dyno, an engine at this level will always need tweaks to ensure it's 100%, and access to the datalogging should be a given for Gav and the team for diagnosis purposes. No reason why a tuner can't remotely log-in in this day and age with ease of internet access. Hope you guys can get on top of things for Oulton, will be watching the live timing with interest!

Minty looking fantastic. Small ergonamic issue noted on pedal cam, every now and again, the inside of your foot catches the edge of the brake pedal as you depress the throttle, you may have enoough deadzone for it not to be an issue, but even so trimming that bottom right hand corner of the brake pedal pad may prevent accidental brake activation in the future. Stay positive things are supposed to fall apart on a shakedown :)

Brands Hatch is such a bad ass track. Bumpy and unforgiving. I love oldschool British Tracks!!!!

Heat management is always hard to sort out with a new car. I’d look at getting some air flow into that ‘hot box’ or get the exhaust out of the cabin all together. When you realize you need bigger brakes look up BroFab 👍🏻

Yeah we absolutely do have multiple 1000+ K24’s over here and K20’s well above 600. And that’s just near me in North Carolina

Hey, that's the main difference between racing games and real life racing. It's part of the deal and it's what makes the whole team proud when everything goes well.

@JimmyBroadbent Hi Jimmer! If you're having trouble with no power steering, use a wider wheel. It'll give you better leverage and you'll have an easier time of things. Also, you might want to add a dummy pedal to the left to give your left foot a place to sit when you're not using it to use the clutch. All the best!

Racing man! I feel ya! Days of money and pain and days of money and outrageous joy. But like you said once you get home the joy still lives even after a shit day. Us racing drivers are a weird breed 😅

Gott hae the downs to enjoy the ups, but as you say; you are there doing it. Those laps when it was all good, the car sounded unreal in the exterior clips! We also got to see the Supra again too. I look forwards to the next video of irl stuff as much as any if not more, car is gonna be a monster once you get these things sorted!

Things I noticed watching your adventure as a Time Attack driver in the US. 1: Americans in Time Attack all are lying about the K24. They just keep throwing new engines in lol. They are solid for a stock engine for sure but it's not bulletproof. 2: I think it's crazy you guys run with side windows up. They don't allow that here. 3: GET POWER STEERING!! Totally worth the weight. If you need an electric pump that's easy to get grab it out of a Volvo S60. 4: You are on your way. Excited to see when you guys add aero to the car. Keep killin it Jimmers, you will get there! The fact you found all these problems on the first shakedown is a good thing. It was all going to happen sooner or later, at least this way you can fix a bunch of stuff in one shot!
